In July 2022, the Executive Board concluded the review of the Fund’s policy on multiple currency practices. It was planned that the revised policy would come into effect on April 1, 2023. The Board supported staff’s proposal to extend the transitional period and to delay the effectiveness date to November 1, 2023, to allow more time to country authorities to make the necessary changes to adjust to the new policy, especially given the challenging external environment. The longer transition will also leave more time to finalize the guidance note and to conduct an outreach with stakeholders. Elements of the revised policy which became effective immediately on July 1, 2022 will continue to apply as envisaged during the transitional period.

This paper reviews key findings of the IMF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 1948. The report highlights that during 1947 and in the early part of 1948, considerable progress was made in strengthening the economies that suffered devastation and dislocation as a result of the war. Over the world, generally production rose and recovery continued, despite widespread political tension and conflict, and disturbances. In nearly all countries, however, the need and demand for goods continued to be abnormally great, and there were increasing difficulties in meeting international payments for import surpluses.

This paper reviews key findings of the IMF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 1950. The report highlights that the widespread devaluation of currencies that took place in September 1949 was the most far-reaching in any comparable period in recent times. Thirteen members agreed new par values with the IMF, most of them involving a devaluation of approximately 30.5 percent in relation to the U.S. dollar. Six member countries with which the IMF has no agreed par value also depreciated their exchange rates.
